Our highest-frequency integrated-LO microwave mixer!

New REV 2 shipping now (March 2020)!

The MX30000 is a wideband high-performance general purpose microwave double-balanced mixer with integrated 18GHz – 30GHz Local Oscillator. LO frequency can be set with front controls, USB commands, or the provided windows PC application. Using its ultra-low noise internal reference source, the LO signal has extremely low phase noise. The MX30000 makes a convenient upconverter or downconverter by eliminating the need for extra cabling and a separate bulky, expensive, high-frequency signal source.
